quantity, measure, weight, amount, consider, estimate, surmise
量 centers on assessing how much of something there is: measuring quantity, weight, or amount, and by extension considering or estimating something's extent.
量 combines 旦 (sunrise) and 里 (village), historically suggesting measuring grain in a village at dawn. The modern form retains these components, though the exact ancient development is not fully certain.
Picture a village (里) at sunrise (旦) where people gather to measure out the day's grain. The scene of measuring connects to quantity, weight, and estimation.
For リョウ, imagine a village measuring grain and saying 'Let's use the ryo measure!' — 'ryo' sounds like リョウ and fits the measuring scene.
